[OzMOSS] Subsite directory structure

[Paul Noone]

Something I've been wondering but can't find an answer to.

Can anyone explain why subsites (not site collections) have a _catalogs 
directory which appears distinct from the root site but can't actually be used?

Scenario: You can create new master pages and store them in the masterpage 
directory but they cannot be applied to the site through Site Settings.

I know the approved method for this is to store them all in the root site but 
I'm stumped as to why there is a _catalogs directory for subsites in the first 
place.

Just wondering. :)

I'm not sure about the master pages not being selectable in the UI, but you can 
certainly set the master page to be in a sub-sites _catalogs/masterpage 
directory through code at least. An example of this is the OOTB meeting 
workspace, it uses its own master page that gets deployed to each individual 
meeting workspace.

[OzMOSS] custom menu in MOSS

[Guljar, Sardar]

Hi,
I have built a navigation provider based on StaticSiteMapProvider and
getting my data from some database. In, web.config I added the provider
 
In my control I then added a data source as 
and put a SharePoint: AspMenu with following properties.
 
ID="TopNavigationMenu"
   Runat="server"
   DataSourceID="..."
   EnableViewState="false"
   AccessKey="<%$Resources:wss,navigation_accesskey%>"
   Orientation="Horizontal"
   StaticDisplayLevels="1"
   MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="1"
   DynamicHorizontalOffset="0"
   StaticPopoutImageUrl="/"
   StaticPopoutImageTextFormatString=""
   DynamicHoverStyle-BackColor="#e86032"
   SkipLinkText=""
   StaticSubMenuIndent="0"

 
The Issue is in my sitemap data, there are some absolute url like
http://www.yahoo.com, and in the menu it's not shown. 
 
Any idea how to resolve this? I tried to put
securityTrimmingEnabled="false" in the provider settings. But no luck.
 
Regards,
Sardar Guljar
